It's relatively easy to test for file-name > completion, but how to do that for buffer-name completion? Do you really need to know explicitly? Could you instead just test `completion-ignore-case', which is let-bound to the value of read-buffer-completion-ignore-case inside of read-buffer? -Miles -- Philosophy, n.
